Science is the storytelling of our time
The times when our dadi nani narrates story to us, comprises infinite moral values and ethical lessons. Have ever wondered what is the motive behind such stories, it's building the good traits within us by making us understand those values inherently. Similarly are some very popular stories that helps in embracing the scientific principles and enables in conceptual understanding of logics and facts that weaves the theorems and science based theories. Such as solar ellipse, we all know how gravitation force of moon impacts the tides likewise is solar ellipse as orbits and positions thus gravitation force of sun and earth deviates which affects entire Earth and who resides over Earth energy to major extent. Kundali, elaborates the life time journey of a person because when person borns, the position of planets, moon, sun etc. affects entire life time journey beyond imagination. Science is everywhere and it emphasizes the way of living with facts and logics.
Science is the modern art of creating stories that explain observations of the natural world, and that could be useful for controlling or predicting nature.
It's enough hilarious thoughtful to state that science is more of storytelling because science generally is considered as a book of facts, logics, concepts and adequate figures. But to learn even difficult topics, if explained by some stories in much easier manner, can be learned with great ease. This is also one of the reason that today's educational institutions are focussing on understanding science subjects by performing practical examples, smart education is valued over conventional craming bookish definations and statements.
Norms to storytelling to know science in depth:-
There are some unsaid rules that instructs how storytelling can be channelised to know science in depth.
Rule #1: Reproducibility
Our first rule has to do with the kind of observations that are acceptable as a basis for scientific stories.
Scientific stories are crafted to explain observations, but the observations that are used as a basis for these must be reproducible.
Rule #2: Predictive Power
Our first rule has to with the idea that scientific stories might be useful for predicting the future course of events.
Scientists prefer stories that can predict things that were not included in the observations used to create those explanations in the first place.
Rule#3: Prospects for Improvement
In order to fully understand why scientists prefer testable predictions, one must first come to the realization that science is not about establishing "the facts," once for all, but about a process of weeding out bad explanations and replacing them with better ones.
Scientific stories should be subject to an infinitely repeating process of evaluation meant to generate more and more useful stories.
Rule #4: Naturalism
The kind of human limitations just discussed are not the end of the story, however. It turns out that scientists also deliberately impose certain limitations on their craft for practical reasons.
Scientific explanations do not appeal to the supernatural. Only naturalistic explanations are allowed.
Rule #5: Uniformitarianism
Any scientific explanation involving events in the past must square with the principle of "Uniformitarianism"-the assumption that past events can be explained in terms of the "natural laws" that apply today.
Rule #6: Simplicity
Another practical assumption is embodied in our next rule. Once again, it is the kind of assumption that must be made in order for science to keep operating.
Scientists assume that nature is simple enough for human minds to understand.
Rule #7: Harmony
Scientists generally want people to accept their stories and make use of them, but most people would hesitate to do so if they could see that different scientific explanations contradicted one another at every turn. Even if we can never be sure our explanations are correct, we do not want them to be obviously false.
Scientific explanations should not contradict other, established scientific explanations, unless absolutely necessary.
